​The Parishioner

​You can tell we are Lutherans when we talk about the importance of the Advent Season. Many Christians don’t know what we are talking about when we tell them we are looking forward to the Advent Season as we prepare for Christmas. “What’s that,” they ask? In our prayers and worship in church, we Lutherans “stand out” in these weeks before Christmas because, for the most part, we will not celebrate Christmas until Advent is over!
